Seeking the new, learning from the unexpected: Computational models of surprise and novelty in the brain
Human babies have a natural desire to interact with new toys and objects, through which they learn how the world around them works, e.g., that glass shatters when dropped, but a rubber ball does not. When their predictions are proven incorrect, such as whe ...
EPFL2024Supporting Teachers' Orchestration in Robot-mediated Classrooms
To bring educational robots to classrooms, we need to consider teachers' self-efficacy and challenges in managing a robot-mediated classroom, and how to support them in overcoming these challenges. Orchestration tools are designed to support teachers by pr ...
EPFL2023A taxonomy of surprise definitions
Wulfram Gerstner, Johanni Michael Brea, Alireza Modirshanechi
Surprising events trigger measurable brain activity and influence human behavior by affecting learning, memory, and decision-making. Currently there is, however, no consensus on the definition of surprise. Here we identify 18 mathematical definitions of su ...
2022Resources for the article "Investigating the role of educational robotics in formal mathematics education"
Jérôme Guillaume Brender, Barbara Bruno, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy
This repository contains the material required to reproduce the study looking to investigate the role of educational robotics in formal mathematics education for 15 year old students in the French speaking region of Switzerland. This includes : Pedagogical ...
2021Investigating the Role of Educational Robotics in Formal Mathematics Education: The Case of Geometry for 15-Year-Old Students
Francesco Mondada, Frédérique Michèle Chessel-Lazzarotto, Jérôme Guillaume Brender, Barbara Bruno, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy
Research has shown that Educational Robotics (ER) enhances student performance, interest, engagement and collaboration. However, until now, the adoption of robotics in formal education has remained relatively scarce. Among other causes, this is due to the ...
Springer, Cham2021Brain network modulation in transradial amputee with finger perception restored through biomimetic intraneural stimulation
Silvestro Micera, Giacomo Valle, Fabrizio Vecchio
Introduction/aims The hand is a sophisticated tool which allows humans to interact with the external world mainly via the sense of touch. Previous evidences demonstrated that electrical stimulations of the nerve trunks governing the hand are able to restor ...
SPRINGER-VERLAG ITALIA SRL2021Epistemic Images in Early-Modern Mixed Mathematics
Simon François Dumas Primbault
Challenging Ancient textual authorities, images are ubiquitous in the early-modern regime of knowledge: from Vesalius’ De humani corporis fabrica to Newton’s Principia through Hooke’s Micrographia, illustrations, depictions, figures, diagrams, and schemati ...
Springer2020Support and approximation properties of Hermite splines
Michaël Unser, Julien René Pierre Fageot, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann, Shayan Aziznejad
In this paper, we formally investigate two mathematical aspects of Hermite splines that are relevant to practical applications. We first demonstrate that Hermite splines are maximally localized, in the sense that the size of their support is minimal among ...
2020Parallel integro-differential equation solving via multi-channel reciprocal bianisotropic metasurface augmented by normal susceptibilities
Analog optical signal processing has dramatically transcended the speed and energy limitations accompanied with its digital microelectronic counterparts. Motivated by recent metasurface?s evolution, the angular scattering diversity of a reciprocal passive ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2019Application of Material Point Method
The main goal of this project is by using MPM which is in continuum formulation to reproduce the wear mechanism in larger scale simulation which is performed in atomistic scale by Professor Jean-François Molinari. Then, having experience and getting inform ...
